Service Description

Our weight loss program at Sahara West Wellness Center is aimed at individuals seeking safe, medically supervised efforts towards a healthy living. We realize that not all people can be treated equally in terms of weight management, and this is why we concentrate on individual care, as opposed to generalizing.

Our team offers structured plans included in a medical weight loss program in Las Vegas that patients can explore. You may want an expert to help you lose weight, have a reliable clinic in your area, or consider physician-monitored programs, but no matter your search intent, our program is designed to help you achieve long-term success and not a short-term outcome.

A Thoughtful, Whole-Person Approach

Our clinical team takes time to learn about your lifestyle, health history, and objectives and prescribe a plan. This will enable us to provide a balanced solution that includes nutrition education, exercise planning, and medical assistance where necessary.

Advanced therapy, like prescription-based treatments such as semaglutide, administered under professional supervision, can be provided to patients who want something medically supervised. These services are part of a bigger wellness plan that promotes long-term weight loss.

Transformative Journey Towards Improved Health

Weight loss is about more than numbers. Our program emphasizes improved energy, confidence, and overall well-being. From your first visit through follow-up appointments, our providers remain involved in your progress, adjusting your plan as your needs evolve.

If you’ve been searching for a nearby clinic that offers structured medical support with flexible scheduling, our location makes it easier to access consistent care without unnecessary delays.

Semaglutide Injections and oral therapy

What is semaglutide injection?

Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, or GLP-1 RAs. It mimics the GLP-1 hormone, released in the gut in response to eating.
One role of GLP-1 is to prompt the body to produce more insulin, which reduces blood sugar (glucose). For that reason, health care providers have used semaglutide for more than 15 years to treat Type 2 diabetes.
But GLP-1 in higher amounts also interacts with the parts of the brain that suppress your appetite and signal you to feel full. When used in conjunction with diet and exercise, it can cause significant weight loss — and a reduced risk of cancer, diabetes and heart disease — in people who are obese or overweight.

Semaglutide injections for weight loss

Currently, semaglutide is only approved for weight loss under the brand name Wegovy. The typical dose for weight loss is 2.4 milligrams, administered weekly as subcutaneous (under the skin) injections.
But as interest in semaglutide for weight loss continues to grow, health care professionals are finding ways to manage the demand. Many prescribe other brands of semaglutide, such as Ozempic and Rybelsus, off-label (using a drug that is FDA-approved for a different reason).
“Many people use semaglutide off-label to help manage weight,” Dr. Surampudi says. “The demand has become so high, that now there is a shortage for people who need this medication to help manage their diabetes.”

How effective is semaglutide for weight loss in non-diabetics?

There have been several anti-obesity medications that help suppress appetite and achieve weight loss. But semaglutide performs on a new level.
An early study of 2,000 obese adults compared people using semaglutide plus a diet and exercise program with people who made the same lifestyle changes without semaglutide. After 68 weeks, half of the participants using semaglutide lost 15% of their body weight, and nearly a third lost 20%. Participants who incorporated only lifestyle changes lost about 2.4% of their weight.
Since then, additional studies have shown similar results. But they’ve also revealed that participants tend to regain the weight lost when they stop taking semaglutide.
“The fundamentals of obesity management will always be changes to diet and exercise,” Dr. Surampudi says. “But having anti-obesity medications is another tool in the toolbox — depending on the person’s clinical history.” 

What are the side effects of semaglutide injections?

The side effects of semaglutide are typically mild — especially when compared to the complications associated with overweight and obesity.
People taking semaglutide for weight loss may experience:
  • Dizziness
  • Fatigue
  • Gastrointestinal issues, such as diarrhea, constipation and gassiness
  • Headache
  • Stomach issues, including nausea, vomiting, pain or distension (bloat)

Gastrointestinal issues are the most common complaint among people just starting semaglutide. But you may be able to reduce the side effects by beginning on a lower dose and then slowly increasing the amount you take.

Who should (and should not) take semaglutide for weight loss?

The FDA recommends Wegovy for weight loss if you meet one of the following criteria:

  • Have a body mass index (BMI) of 27kg/m2 or greater and at least one weight-related condition, such as high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes or high cholesterol
  • Have a BMI of 30kg/m2 or greater

Avoid semaglutide if you have:

  • History of medullary thyroid cancer
  • History of gallbladder disease
  • History of pancreatitis
  • Multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN2)

If you’re considering semaglutide for weight loss, your first step should be consulting your primary care physician (PCP). They know your personal and family medical history and can guide you in the best treatment for your condition. If you have diabetes and already take a different medication, talk to your physician about acceptable (and safe) combinations of diabetes medication.
